I Am Grateful


Four months of radio silence is enough for me--it was snowing when I signed off and here we are on the cusp of summer! My on-line life has been relegated primarily to Instagram where I've been sharing bits of process from the studio.


I've had a lovely break though I dare say it is no longer a sabbatical per se but a new direction entirely. Two concrete decisions have been made. First, the doors of Sushipot have closed for good. Second, I miss blogging so here I am!


My first task back in February was to purge my studio of clutter and give the walls a fresh coat of white paint. The physical chore was a cathartic process and it literally gave me a clean slate to forge ahead into new art-making territory.


Lots of ideas and work are coming out of this time of experimentation. Patterns have been formed, textiles cut, ideas perused, stitches stitched, books read, sketches drawn, wax melted, objects gathered, paper torn and the list goes on and on.


I look forward to looking back at these weeks and sharing my new work with you. In the meantime I thank you for the encouragement you've showered on me via comments, messages and emails. The support during my hiatus has been overwhelming and I am grateful.

Hello 2015

A video posted by Suzanna Scott (@sushipot) on

Hello 2015....you have arrived. I'll admit I haven't done much during my end-of-the-year hiatus....I've begun my yearly studio clean/purge but I've also indulged in four whole seasons of Downton Abbey. To tell the truth I'm more than happy to return to a routine and my hands are itching to make something. Happy New Year friends!

4th Grade



We're getting into our 4th grade groove this week. This may or may not include splashing around in a fountain or two ;)

Assembling Tea For Two


Thought you would enjoy watching the latest assemblage come to life. I believe I'll call it "Tea For Two". Next step is to remove everything so I can work on the box before gluing each element into place. The video will come in handy when it's time to piece the puzzle back together.

A big THANK YOU to each of you who shopped and tweeted my Christmas In July sale. It was a big success! All the packages were mailed off yesterday so keep your eye out if you're expecting a Sushipot art object ;)

Back To Work


I'm refreshed after my vacation time and ready to get back to work. In fact, June's collage blocks will be ready ASAP! We took a road trip to visit family in Georgia and Alabama (Patrick & Lizzie's home state....I'm the oddball Yankee). Took this fishy snapshot at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. You can see other images from our trip here. By the way, if you're ever passing through Montgomery and in need of a good lunch you gotta try Gail's Down The Street Cafe. The sweet tea, cornbread, greens, squash casserole, fried green tomatoes and blackberry cobbler is to die for!! I'm trying to be disciplined after all the good eats but it's hard 'cuz Patrick's grandpa gifted him a well-seasoned cast iron skillet and he made an awesome frittata for breakfast today....burp.

Wall Dolls


A trio of wall dolls are coming together nicely in the studio. If you follow along on Instagram these are old news....if you don't, I'd love you to come say 'hello'! You can find me @sushipot. As for these ladies I'll be back later in the week to share the finished pieces.

Goodbye Summer

My favorite Instagram of the season taken on one of many neighborhood walks. On our final summer stroll this evening it was already feeling quite a bit crisper. Goodbye summer.

Don't miss out! This sale continues through tomorrow night.

Trade Fair Mall


We took a spontaneous trip out of town last weekend to look at a house in Springfield, MO. The house was a bust but we redeemed the excursion with a little bit of antiquing at the Trade Fair Mall in Osceola, Missouri. Lemme just say for the record that I will not be without many incredible sources for vintage goodies once we move this summer! I did my duty and loaded several bags of treasures into the trunk before we headed home. If you're ever traveling through Missouri on State Road 13 this is a fun stop for certain. And...there is a dining table I hope is still waiting for me when we pass by with the moving truck this summer (crossing fingers).

Gobble, Gobble


Our Thanksgiving Day preparations are well underway and I'm busy wrapping up loose ends in the shop so I can take the day off tomorrow! This will be our second year celebrating with a purely vegetarian menu and I think I've got a better handle on it this time 'tho lemme say it'll be a little bit heavy on the carbs. haha! These pictures were taken last year....we made fruit turkeys which have been a tradition in my family since I can remember. I'm gonna pop back in later today to announce this years BIG Sushipot Holiday Sale. Planning to have it up and running so I don't even have to think about it on my day off. Wishing you and yours a Happy Turkey Day if you reside here in the USA. Gobble, gobble!

One In The Hand

 
It is such a treat to see this pair of my earlier Doll House pieces as objects in California artist, Christopher Friedman's One In The Hand series. Christopher's Instagram feed, houseoffriedman, is full of images from this compelling series of object vs. hand. Thank you for sharing these Chris!

Little Red Riding Hood


Our Little Red Riding Hood filled her basket will all kinds of yummy treats tonight but that pesky Big Bad Wolf (on a stick) was up to his old tricks. Thinking of all you 'lil ghosts 'n ghouls on the East Coast. Hope everyone had a fun & safe Halloween.

Sundays Fundays



Lizzie hasn't missed wearing her Little Miss Sunshine, Sundays Fundays shirt, for a Sunday since she got it over a year ago. Now Sunday's are officially our family fun-day. (I swear she was having fun despite that look. hah!)



Today we decided to take our co-pilot bike trailer on a long-ish ride and explore the Linear Trail here in Manhattan. It was a gorgeous Kansas day and before we knew it we'd covered over 6 miles and then had to pedal back to our car.



Twelve-ish miles is not bad for us and the longest ride for Lizzie yet. And yes...she did pedal the entire way!



Of course we had to stop for a few Instagram shots on an old bridge.



Patrick is Mr. Chippy Paint over on IG. You can find him @elasticity if chippy paint is your thing.






I don't mind stopping for Patrick's chippy paint images 'cuz he's always patiently stopping for my "just-a-quick-look-see" at antique malls 'n thrift shops when we're out and about. I'm tellin' ya....marriage is all about compromise ;)



Mom (me!) insisted on a quick family snapshot at the end of our trail. We all agreed it was a great Sunday Funday....



....and then we polished off our day with "bicycle soup". Hope you had a Sunday Funday too!

Blue For You


A windmill drive by, Kansas in June.


Just a nice blue window from the archives.


Cookie monster donuts at our favorite doughnut dive, Varsity Donuts.


Blue swings at a local park.

Some blue for you and Poppytalk's Summer Colors. Have a beautiful weekend :)

California Outtakes



Thought I'd share a few outtakes from our trip to California last weekend. It was fun to meet up with old friends and family and make some new ones too! The wedding went off without a hitch, Lizzie had the time of her life being a flower girl, we ate a lot of good food and we now lovingly refer to Los Angeles as Lost Angeles (which we were more than once!). As Eeyore would say....the weekend was full of "merriment and what-not"!
